Also, car companies can get together and let their cars charge at each other’s dealers. Then lock out Teslas until TSLA agrees to join.
Also, gas stations don’t make money selling gas (!!) but by selling candy [1]They couldn’t care less if they’re charging $60 to fill your car or 0.60. In fact, the longer it takes to charge your car unattended the more Andy you’ll buy

- cvbhhbgh 8y agoCigarettes, beer, candy. The profit it’s not on the gas. The ppl that flip out about the price and take it out on the stations are nuts Also I don’t think the VP of one of the most maligned industries wanted to highlight that their profit is from selling the most maligned product :)
- Latteland 8y agoIt's the other car dealers who will have to pay Tesla. T has the best chargers and all over the places you want them to be. T can already use all the other charging standards but they can't use Tesla chargers.
- cvbhhbgh 8y ago1. What’s so special about a Tesla charger? From an electrical POV nothing I can see (for companies like ABB a TSLA charger is a toy) 2. Car dealers are everywhere, especially in rural areas where e-cars are at the most disadvantage. They’re filled with mechanics that can quickly install a charging station. The auto makers could roll out charging stations by themselves and get national coverage in months.
